Grafting Scissor.

Bought a Professional  Grafting Scissor. Had wanted to buy this but had been putting it off for a while.
Simple packaging.
It comes with 3 blades, Omega, V & U blade. The blade can be used on both ends making an effective of 6 blades.

Instruction is pretty simple,
Instruction given on the rear.
 Hold grafting stock in the grafting tool and squeezes the handle to make the cut, repeat this to cut the stem o the donor plant.
Slide the donor plant stem into the stock plant, matching the cut surfaces as closely as possible. If the stock and donor is of different size, match 1 side only.
Place sterilizing material around the join and bind with tape. The sterilizing material shall protect against bacterial & weather.
There is also a top scissor to use for pruning.

Blade sliding down onto the orange catch.

 This professional grafting scissor is effective for soft / green wood. It can not be used with hardwood. Effective grafting diameter is about 15mm.

It is designed to have a vertical sliding down cut.
Sturdy handle.

It is light weight as it's mostly plastic. The handle looks sturdy and comes with a lock. Looking forward to test this on the Jackfruit, Avocado, Mangoes & Figs. Wondering if this shall helps in my grafting.
